Champagne Françoise Monay is made from grapes that are grown on 45-year-old vines in the heart of the appellation, northeast of Epernay at a family winery who produce and elaborate the Champagne themselves. The Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes are handpicked according to the small plots on which they are grown. Each plot and its grapes are vinified separately in order to elaborate a wine that is consistently elegant and well-balanced. The Champagnes are aged for 30 months on lattes, instead of the minimum 15 months required.
